Very expensive to go that way....... I would not touch those services unless you are rolling in cash to burn. It takes time but do it yourself, more importantly, let your kid carry the heavy load and do it mostly on their own, they will be better off for it. Keep really good records, a file dedicated to it, you'll have to jump through a lot of hoops and it will be frustrating but you will learn as you go. Once they are in college check their account weekly so you don't get surprised with that $3267 due tomorrow....! They set up the accounts (the college) in a way that there are two user names and two passwords for the same account. One for you to check on things and pay stuff and the other for the student to do all they need to do, health center, books, grades, sign up for classes, etc. The above I learned sending one off to Chico State. Working on the youngest now who's going off to university out of state this August and dealing with "FASFA", the government loan site..... Talk about frustrating and jumping through hoops....! Kinda like doing your taxes, endless forms that you really don't understand.... All on the computer though so that's a plus. Have your most recent taxes, 2015 handy and organized, you will need them for any loans. Regards, Chris
p.s. I learned you can pay tuition on a credit card if you are stuck without funds, just costs you like $80 more for the "convenience"....
